[Q] Unable to call or SMS and global mode - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hello!
First things first, I have searched the internet, not just XDA, far and wide for these problems. I have followed nearly every lead I could find before creating a post about this, I am at wits end and at this point have had to remove the phone from the premises before something bad happened to it.
My problems:
"Switch to Global mode" constantly pops up"
Cannot send or receive either texts nor phone calls
Setup:
Previously on CleanRom 3.5, decided to try CM10.2. Downloaded and installed CWM to use instead of TWRP, downloaded CM10.2, wiped cache, factory reset, installed CM10.2 zip file as well as Gapps for 4.3. CM10.2 exhibited the above behavior. Currently I am sitting on completely stock JB 4.1.2, the details are below.
Network: Unknown
Mobile Network type: Unknown:0
Service State: Out of service
Mobile Network State: Disconnected
Phone number: <correct #>
IMEI: <correct IMEI, validated per inside battery cover>
Android 4.1.2
Baseband: I605VRAMC3
Kernel: 3.0.31-1098177
[email protected]#1
SMP PREEMPT Fri Mar 29 10:58:51 KST 2013
Build Number: JZO54K.I605VRAMC3
Hardware Version: I605.06
Mitigation attempts:
Downgrade to CM10.1 (AOSP keyboard would not work)
Tried various AOSP and TW ROMs, to no avail.
Cleared cache, dalvik cache and factory reset between each attempt
Finally downloaded stock ROM, followed steps here (great guide btw!) using Odin, no change.
I truly don't know what else to do at this point. I feel like I've done everything I've seen and my problems are still around. I see a lot about IMEI (not sure what it is or what it does), but mine is present and has been throughout this ordeal. Occasionally my phone number would read as 000-000-3279, which was not correct, but that was only on the CM ROMs. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, I don't want a Note 2 paper weight or media device hanging around, I want my phone back - stock form is fine. Thank you for reading all this and I appreciate any help that can be sent my way.

I am in this exact situation.
Was on stock, VRAMC3 and wanted to go custom.
The CASUAL exploit worked just fine, and once I had CWM I attempted to flash CM 10.2.
It just didn't seem right.
Every other ROM I've tried since that point I am unable to send/receive texts, and get the Global mode popup constantly.
I tried to revert back to stock via this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207 But no luck.
Any help would be appreciated.

I ran into this last night while trying a new rom(coming from Beans 22). I can't call or receive calls. I can receive texts, but can't send them. Data works. I've tried multiple ROM's, and it's the same situation with each(CM10.2, 10.1, XenonHD). I just tried returning everything to stock with Odin, and continue to have the same issues. My phone number reads as 000-000-2780. My IMEI is correct. Service State: Out of service. If I switch to CMDA/LTE, I get hammered with "switch to global mode" popups. If anyone has any suggestions, please post them.

I had LTE and wifi when this happened to me, so I was able to download Telinfo from Play.
Also, I had ODINed back to Root66 so all the hidden menu options were available.
Your modem needs to reset, so go into device info and turn off your radio. Toggle to LTE/CDMA/EvDo and then turn radio back on.
I don't remember if a reboot was necessary.
My modem was fine after that.
Let me know if this works for you.

hi.. same thing happened to me. Was trying different roms coming from Beans22, lost ability to make/receive calls but data connection was fine.
Questions:
Did you have to change rom back to factory stock before doing the radio toggle thing?
What is "ServiceMode Shortcut"?
Thanks much!

wutek, I did change back to factory stock before I did the radio toggle, but I think you can do it from whatever rom you flashed to. "ServiceMode Shortcut" is an app from the store that allows you to access the service mode menu. After installing it, go to testing>device information, and reset the modem from there as pdinphx advised. Good luck!

Having the same problem. Flashed 10.2 last night from cm11, didn't make a call just went to bed and woke up and had this problem. Tried using that app from 10.2 without any luck unless I am doing something wrong. I guess I am gonna try after using Odin. Anyone else having any luck?

hi ap0ptosis,
quick update... I was able to regain radio after odin to root66, toggle using telinfo, factory reset. Thanks for the info on the ServiceMode Shortcut app.
To all.. thanks for the help... I am back and kicking. However, I am now staring at the big elephant in the room so have to ask the question... how did this all of the sudden start to happen? It started for me when I tried out some 4.3 Roms but radio going bonkers did not happen immediately. For me it happened overnight w/o me touching anything. The message I would continuously get is "Mobile network not available" . Also phone would keep asking to switch to global mode.

Glad you got yours going. When using root 66 do I still need to use the pit file alongside? Have the 66 downloaded but never used it.

hi mikelikesbikes.. I followed the exact instructions from the below url. So definitely, I used pit. Good Luck
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207

Have Odin running as I type using root 66 and the pit. How does one reset the radio from the playstore app? I see how to turn off the radio and change radio but not how to reset it. Obviously it is staring me in the face.

So I got it going. Used the root 66 file and didn't have a operating system to boot into, only cwm recovery which was weird. So I used Odin and went back completely stock, and ran that app from the play store. Still didn't work until I factory reset from within settings and that was what got it I suppose. I wonder also what caused it and why others had the same issue on the same morning. Like I said previously I was running 4.4 for a few days and went back to 4.3. That's the only thing I did differently. Anyway, ran Casual, and running Beans 22 and happy.

Hi mikelikesbikes,
Glad u got it working again. Interesting... I did read somewhere that root66 may not work and if so, to use vz stock.
Correct, factory reset is within the phone>settings>backup reset menu... cheers

Not sure why this happens but I had the same thing happen to me. I tried cm11 and then switched to cm10 after switching back to tw rom I was in roaming only. A simple factory reset took care of the issue. So I think the common denominator here is the series of events cm11 to cm10 to touchwiz....

I had this problem coming from stock MC3 --> Root/Unlock --> CM 10.2
No calls / SMS on 10.2, and still nothing coming back to stock MC3.
You guys saved my ass, thanks! Toggling the radio / factory restore worked for me.
Anyone know what ROMs are SAFE to use without this issue appearing?

Back to normal, whew!
I had been stable on cm10.2 nightlies as of 11/29 with mc3. Installed cm11 everything was operational. I was able to bounce back and forth between my backups. As soon as I updated to the newest nightly for cm10.2, 12/1, that broke my voice/sms.
Ended up reverting back to stock, factory reset from settings in stock and was back up and running.
From here I used casual and tried to go back to the 12/1 nightly and still had the same issues.
Repeated stock process/casual and am now on slimrom 4.3 mc3 and running smoothly. Just wanted to get my problems and solution out there for more info.

This was a fairly common problem with the S3.
The key to fixing it is not in the factory reset but in the reprovisioning of the phone's modem, which typically requires a stock rom to access Samsung's hidden service menu.
Incidentally, even a touchwiz rom built off another carrier's base (or international base) can trigger this problem.

Same Issue
I'm running into the same issue as ya'll. Flashed CM 10.2, than flashed back to CleanRom 3.5 and not able to make calls or send text. Can receive text and all incoming calls go to Voicemail. I ODIN back to stock VRALJB, can't seem to get phone going again. Tried toggling Radio and Factory Data reset, but now the phone is just stuck in Roaming Mode. Any help?

Wi-Fi goes slow.

Hi,
I have a problem with my Wi-Fi. After a while it starts to go very slow. I have checked it with a speed test and its about 0.5 mbits. I first fixed the problem with a factory reset, but it came back after a day.
I have since found that a cache wipe, from the stock recovery menu, fixes the problem too, but it comes back again after about a day or even less.
I tried some cache wiping apps, but only the wipe from the recovery menu seems to do the trick.
I am on stock JB and I don't want to root out put a custom ROM on yet as my phone is still under warranty.
How can I find out what's causing the problem? It's getting rather annoying having to go to the recovery menu every day.
Thanks

That is strange? Maybe its an app you have installed or maybe a bug in the filmware. Head over to "samfilmware" and download the latest build for your version.
Dont think flashing official firmware from there will void your warranty as its official.

Tried flashing the latest stock ROM, same temporary fix like wiping the cache, but after a few hours, goes back to normal. This is with no other apps installed, other than the speedtest app, which I installed after I first identified the problem, so its not an app.
Another thing I noticed is that it went away after I disabled the 5Ghz wifi connection on my router, but it came back. The I tried manual wifi channel instead of auto, same thing. Problem went away, and then came back.
If I change the wifi channel the problem goes away, and then comes back after a few hours.
It seems like wifi settings must have something to do wit it, but I can find a combination which cures it completely.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is starting to drive me bonkers:crying:
Try hawkerpaul s GS2Nuke script, if it doesn't work try another wifi (other then the one at your home), if it works with another wifi then reset your router, if it doesn't work try making it without password.

[Q] CyanogenMod broke voice service on all ROMs

Here's what's happening:
I have a Galaxy Note 2 (i605) running Stock MC3 firmware. Everything is functioning perfectly. Then, I decide to unlock / flash cyanogenmod. After unlocking, everything still functions fine. After flashing cyanogenmod, my note will still connect to 4G, but will not send SMS, MMS, or phone calls.
No problem, I think. I odin back to stock MC3. Perfectly stock, same exact issue. How is it possible that something changed by installing cyanogenmod "sticks" through an odin-cycle?
Please someone help. I'm not enjoying having such an expensive paperweight.
Same exact problem here... trying to figure it out.
I had a similar issue on my s3. I had to use the unbrick files for Odin instead of the stock ones. It fixed it for me. Except my issue was I was stuck in roaming.

ugh, now I'm stuck in roaming after using Odin root66
If you are on a stock rom go to settings > backup and reset > factory reset. Let the phone reboot on its own. When it reboots run through the setup and it should be working again once you finish. That's what worked for me.

I did that 3 or 4 times and it didn't work for me.
Exactly which stock odin flash did you use? I used root66_VZW_stock_system
I did not use Odin. I just flashed back to cleanrom and did the factory reset from settings not from recovery. Also I am using cwm and not twrp just in case that may make a difference.

I went back to stock, did the reset and got the radio working correctly after that. then rooted again. so annoying. bad CM10.2 bad!!
Just in case anyone else is like me and didn't thoroughly read this thread...
You must factory reset from the settings option, NOT FROM RECOVERY.
I'm not clear as to why that makes a difference, but after I Odin'd to stock and ran CASUAL, I kept using ServiceModeShortcut to toggle the modem, then rebooting into recovery to factory reset. Never worked. Then I reread this thread and realized I needed to do it from the settings menu instead. Worked first time! :victory:
What a stressful few hours. Totally thought I wrecked my phone...now, it's clean and ready to install a ROM. Think I'm sticking with Beans for a while :good:

[Q] DNA texting and calling issue

So, I used Moonshine to unlock and root the VZW Droid DNA, and after it was all said and done, I installed CM11 with the KK Gapps.
Normally, I don't have an issue with this kind of thing, but I could call and text after for approximately two hours, then it just stopped.
I now can't text at all, and when I call, it says something about needing to go to an external operator on VZW's service,
but what gets me is that I still have LTE, I still have data, I can browse the internet, I just can't call or text. I'm baffled.
In settings, in about phone, it says it's connected to service, it isn't roaming, it has all connectivity and even shows me my number.
Why could this be? I really need this phone to have service. Thanks to all who help!

Same issue here. All data works via LTE (status bar icon turns blue) but without SMS or phone ability. Traveling on business this week I noticed poor connectivity and ran the *228 #2 option to update my roaming coverage. I thought that was the cause, but it may not be if others are experiencing the same. I can reach Verizon activation if I switch CDMA mode to automatic (goes to roaming) but activation cannot complete. Seems like we need reprogramming for some reason but I doubt Verizon will want to assist us with customized software.
Wise people of XDA, please help/advise us confused souls.
Verizon DNA, Moonshine, TWRP beta, CM11 (no difference with stable CM10.2.1).

This is the same method I used to get mine working again.
Something happened to my radio partition, it was showing my phone number as 000-000-0000 and would not recognize the SIM. Too many ROM flashes. Hahaha. This will rebuild all the factory partitions.

Scratching my head. Nothing sees the phone via ADB though the drivers and software appear correct. I'm able to flash TWRP through Flashify and Flash Image GUI but it doesn't seem to like any of the recovery options above. Selecting Recovery from the Moonshine HBOOT screen brings me (eventually) to a red "!" triangle over a phone. I have the option to reset through Sense 5 settings or Moonshine, but my guess is that just makes things worse/does nothing without the correct recovery. Any ideas?
EDIT: Small gains - computer sees the phone if I reinstall CM10.2.1. Not that it fixes much...

i have tried force closing the clock in the running apps and cleared data as some sites have explained.
i have searched for an answer to this problem to no avail.
i hope someone on here can help me find out how i can rid of these messages (or problem), without having to do a factory reset.
thanks in advance
You will have to factory reset, possibly reflash your rom as well.

this is an unrooted phone. so reflashing a rom might be a problem if i have to root it 1st.
would the best way to factory reset, to do in through settings or through recovery.
i was hoping that factory reset would be the last resort to be honest.
thanks

I think a factory reset is your best bet now. Just back up your data and everything should be fine again.
It wouldn't let me even back up my data. Lost loads. But factory reset sorted it out. Many thanks

CORRECTION,
woke up this morning and now it is saying Google play has stopped working and the phone is less usable. doing my head in now. i tried installing Google play and the error stopped. reinstalled and the problem came back/
any other help suggestions please???????
Unless you've modified something then, by flashing or restoring then your firmware is corrupting itself -probably due to nand memory failure. Try the test app from freezing thread in general forum.
I haven't knowingly changed anything in the firmware. But I have now forced an update through kies on my computer. Once again, so far so good.

Note 2 rebooting

I have a note 2 that I kept stock for a long time. And decided to root it about a week ago. I used the latest casual one click root. And it seemed all dandy initially until i went between a few different roms and it decided it wanted to shut off randomly and not boot back up past the note 2 screen on its own. But the odd part was it booted while connected to the wall or to the computer. So I flashed to 4.1.2 stock via odin and the issue still remains. I can only use it fine on charger. Is there something else im missing on flashing back to stock?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Free mobile app
Hmm when you installed 4.3 did you do so wiping everything could be an app causing the problem. Try it from brand new with no apps installed and see if that helps. Could be also a radio issue as well.
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk
Yeah I wiped everything. Actually used odin twice to revert to stock 4.1.2. I tried a few cm nightlies before it began. Is there anything else I should flash on top of whats already been done?

I've found that even after using ODIN to go back to stock 4.1.2, that there's still leftover data on the phone from custom ROM's. I've read where others had the same issue. I don't know why Odin doesn't seem to fully wipe everything ... but this has been my personal experience.
The way I've fixed this (and all this may not be necessary).. . is that after Odin'ing back to stock 4.1.2, I boot into stock recovery, then do a full factory reset and wipe cache. Then I booted into the stock Rom and used the bypass setup trick (touch the left side of the screen right above Emergency... then right side, then left, then right again, and then volume up... this should bypass setup to save time).
Then went into phone's settings and performed a factory reset from within the stock Rom too...
Finally... (because I'm a bit OCD... so this is probably not necessary), but I ODIN'd back to stock 4.1.2 one more time and then proceeded with using CASUAL again to root /unlock the bootloader).
I know this is a pain in the butt... but this has worked for me. Maybe others will have some better suggestions.
(Edit : Forgot to mention that if you're not wanting to return to stock to start over again... check out this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53624921) on how to flash a stock recovery for the purposes of doing a proper data wipe... then can you odin your custom recovery back to the device without having to fully restore to stock... this can be a real time saver. Please make sure to thank the OP for the helpful info).
So in the end I tried to reset from stock recovery and wipe cache. Than do a reset from the settings and the issue presisted. But now I have root and recovery as well. So I may give a rom a try.

This is totally a guess, but I'm thinking that you may have a battery problem... and it's just a coincidence that these problems started happening around the same time that you rooted. You may try replacing the battery to see if that fixes things.... (you can get one pretty cheap off ebay or Amazon).
Yeah thats odd. I had bought another battery from a phone store I use to work at and have no issues now, back on 4.1.1 rooted.

Cool. Hopefully you'll have no more problems with it for a while.
